But could hackers abscond with your genetic information?
If you can’t explain the astrophysical signal that you see and cry ‘dark matter,’ chances are you’re not thinking hard enough. Despite our knowledge of the laws of physics, and the […]
This discovery may also help us develop novel drugs for Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and ADHD.
“Nice and in control: the twin peaks of a good reputation…But since we are riddled with contradiction, this is not a simple story.”
Einstein believed in the unseen—like gravitational waves, ripples in space and time. Now, we can see this, as shown by the 2017 Nobel Prize physics winners.
Scotland and Canada also announced they’re getting off of coal completely.
It’s not just for the lols. If you’re up for some soul-searching, they need you to contribute to this MIT research survey…

One day in 1995, a large, heavy middle-aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn’t wear a mask or any sort of disguise. And he smiled at […]
There are lots of properties inherent to particles, and while everyone has an antiparticle, not everyone is matter or antimatter. For every particle of matter that’s known to exist in […]
‘Buy land – they aren’t making it any more,’ said Mark Twain.
One of inflation’s cofounders has turned his back on the idea. But practically no one else is following him. Is he right? This article was written by Sabine Hossenfelder. Sabine is […]
Everyone could be wearing a tDCS cap in 5-10 years, top scientist states.
Researchers learn how to selectively erase memories in snails, a first step.
If the multiverse is real, why hasn’t our Universe, in a sea of infinite possibilities, run into another one at least once? The Universe we inhabit is vast, full of matter […]
The season finale gets the one thing Star Trek is famous for — ethics — completely wrong. Life is full of dilemmas whose solutions seem paradoxical. To obtain peace, you must prepare for war. […]
For every planet that orbits a star like our own, there are likely thousands of ‘orphan planets’ wandering the galaxy alone. Here in the Solar System, we can watch our star’s […]
This could change everything we know about gravity and universal expansion.
In his latest book, Fantasyland, Kurt Andersen covers the first five hundreds years of American magical thinking.
There is, and never will be, a substitute for the real knowledge we’ve obtained about the actual Universe. “There are two infinities that confuse me: the one in my soul […]
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will not only be the space-based successor to LIGO, but will predict black hole mergers up to years in advance. Across the Universe, innumerable masses […]
A new report from the IMF shows why income equality hurts everyone and proposes higher taxes on the wealthy and investigating universal basic income.
Lord Martin Rees, a world-leading cosmologist, explains the possibility of multiverse theory. “It’s speculative, it’s exciting science, and it may be true.”
